Divine Monarchy

Divine monarchy is a political system where a king or queen rules with authority believed to come directly from God. In this system, the monarch is often seen as chosen by divine will, granting them absolute power and legitimacy. This belief not only justifies their rule but also encourages subjects to remain loyal, as resisting the monarch is viewed as opposing God's will. Historically, divine monarchies were common in many cultures, influencing governance and society by intertwining religious and political authority, shaping laws and norms according to the monarch's deemed divine guidance.
